I am afraid of heights (I can’t climb), deep waters (I can’t swim), dogs (a dog that is not familiar with you is UNPREDICTABLE), and afraid to fail (failure can be deadly if you lack the strength to hold onto your dreams despite all the obstacles on the way).

What an interesting topic. When I was younger, I wasn’t really afraid of anything. Now that I am older, new fears seem to creep in more and more often. For instance, I used to love flying. I was in the military and had to travel often, and now I have a fear of flying.

I also used to love heights. I used to live in Arizona, and the first time that I visited the Grand Canyon, I went right up to the edge! What a view, and what a thrill. But now, I am beginning to fear heights as well.
